Planet Fitness – Watertown

This is one of the cleanest PF’s I have been to, however, THE MUSIC IS A NIGHTMARE. Particularly at night, I HATE going to this particular PF because 9x out of 10 the music will be so loud I can’t listen to anything else unless I crank it to 11. It doesn’t mater if the music is good or not, it makes everyone else have to be loud over it, making this place feel like a gross night club.
On top of this, no one on staff seems to understand how to work the stride machines or stationary bikes. The sensors on the bikes are terrible. And the headphone jacks to half the treadmills don’t work, so you are staring at a tv screen reading lips, which I suppose makes sense, as the music is so loud you would have to anyway.
I’ve been to a lot of gyms all over, this one is the cleanest, but I’d rather workout somewhere a little messy than put up with this disco-​tech gym.

No free weights = no adequate workout options.

Look, I’ll give it 3 stars because of the cost and it’s clean, but the service and the employees are absolutely terrible. It’s not like they have anything crazy special that you can’t get at another gym.

Clean clean clean! Dozens of cardio machines, each with an ipod connection and television, two sets of each work out machine so even during the busy times you rarely wait for a machine, fun 30 min express workout station, 12 min ab workout station, nice locker rooms with showers and plenty of lockers, massage chairs, tanning beds, all available 24-​hours a day. The best part is that they really focus on the common person that is there to get fit and lose weight, NOT the body builders and meat-​heads.

Even better than the PF I joined while living in Albany. I went with family members a few times over the holidays and loved it! Super clean, tons of machines available, intuitive machine layout, huge clean bathroom/​locker rooms. The stretching area is a bit small, but really it was just the 4 people I went with who were using it, so not a big deal.
Coming from Brooklyn, this gym is a dream.

LOVE this gym. Its spotless clean, and the staff is always in a good mood and willing to help with any questions I have. Love the 30 min circuit training and the ab section. I wish they had a few more tanning beds but its all good.

In the area visiting a friend so I figured I’d stop by to workout. This location is very nice, much nicer than my local one. The machines look new and there is a TV attached to every single treadmill in there. That resulted in me staying an extra hour after my workout to watch a show while mindlessly walking like a zombie, which was a good thing. The extra hour, not the mindless zombie part. The people working there are very nice and attentive. Even though I was there mostly during slow times, I still saw people sweeping up, changing the trash, putting out new rolls of paper towels. Same on my second visit so that can’t be a fluke right? Everything looked very clean, including the ladies’ locker room, and of course the person checking me in was also in there cleaning up the mirrors and counters when I was in there. I also saw her putting the weights back in their correct places after some guys just left after their workout.
Nice open area for free weights, about 10 stair steppers (the fancy arc trainers), maybe 15 – 20 ellipticals, at least 20 treadmills. Has a 12-​minute abs section, as well as a 30 min express area in addition to their usual weight machine area. Tanning (beds and standing) and red light therapy (no clue what it is) as well as a little area with 2 massage chairs. Locker room was expansive although I only saw about 4 – 5 toilet stalls in the ladies’ locker room.
